I've heard from three unrelated people, all of whom are primarily console gamers, that the PC version is vastly superior to the console ports. One said that after comparing all three, he'd rather not play it at all than be stuck with the 360/PS3 version.

I didn't follow the development of Deus Ex very closely -- except for the last week or so, it's kind of a stealth release to me. Did the developer really say people should play the PC version or nothing at all?

Since you have them both, how would you compare them?

[/quoteReally "being stuck with it"!?! Wow, spoiled...That might be a stretch... I'm playing the ps3 version and while it may not beThe most impressive visuals or tech ever, it's MORE than serviceable. In fact, aside from a few quirks it's quite impressive. Choose to not play it on a console, but you'll be REALLY missing out...

How did I quote myself?!? New to the iPhone I suppose..anywho, I sure if you timed it that would be the case,& maybe I'm getting less picky in my oldish age...but while I'm playing I never once (and I experiment alot) have been put off by theLoading times, at all...

I've played a couple of hours and I love it. Of course this is my ideal game; no magic spells, elves or zombies, just guns and stealth and some complex and vague plot that gives me a reason to go around and make mayhem.

Well, based on the feedback in this thread and from Destructor-kun, I bought the digital CE for $40 through Green Man Gaming and registered it through Steam. Now I just have to get home and get it downloaded before Hurricane Irene sweeps up the coast and ends life as we kn

I'm really enjoying it on the 360. I'm taking my time, exploring all the areas and undertaking all quests. I don't know how many hours I've played (is there something somewhere that tells me?) but since starting on Thursday I'm still in Detroit. I'm also playing on the easiest setting; I've decided that while I don't mind spending hours on the game, I don't want it to be playing some missions over and over. And it's still pretty tough at times.

I am playing on normal(or middle setting)and it can be quite hard,i can withstand getting shot i think 3 times if i don't take cover inbetween and then i die

as for is there something that tells you how long you have played,i can't see anything,when you reload a previous save it has the date and current time,but not how long you have played unfortunately

I haven't been able to play since Friday night,and i am not going back on until tomorrow,so as i am only about 2 hrs in i may start again,this time armed with the knowledge i picked up first time round,mainly Pocket Secretary's that have the password for computers,

This game is really frustrating me, but not for the reasons one would think. I've really gotten into the habit of playing the console versions of PC games, simply because of the enhanced immersion of a 55" plasma and surround sound. But the PC version of Deus Ex is so VASTLY superior that I find myself playing on my 27" monitor instead. Better controls, significantly better visuals, better loading times, better framerates, etc.

I'm going to hold on to my 360 version. However, if you have a rig that can handle this game with high settings, absolutely play the PC version. It seems to be the lead platform, as opposed to the horrible Deus Ex: Invisible War travesty, where they shoehorned a console game onto the PC.

In hacking today i learned that you do not need to wait for a hacking operation on a single unit before moving on to the next one. Duh!! That made it much easier and faster.

You can hack anything you're connected to simultaneously. But each thing you hack has an individual detection chance. Still it's usually a better deal to attack two things at once than to do it linearly.

I've never played a game that takes so long to accomplish some stuff...of course that's bc of my extremely slow/stealthy approach. Believe or not, that is not bitching. I love that this game gets me immersed like that.Very few game have done this. De1, thief series & only a few more...

don't care if i am going against the flow here,but this game is dull...does it like,get better?,i am currently at Picus,and i am just doing the same old thing all the way through the game,so fucking sick to the back teeth of hacking as well

Yeah, it does get better, I've just finished the next set of missions after Picus and it does get away from the endless hacking of desk terminals. I got caught up in hacking every desktop in the place and damn, that's a lot. I've also switched to less stealth and more violence . Makes for a change, it does.

I don't know, but I'm a whore for stealth and hacking...or maybe just a whore . What I love about the original game is found here. Always reminded me of system shock 2 and thief. Like a baby namedShock thief...ok badly explanation. Anywho, anyone sneak into the police station and decide to reload the game and kiss that ex swat guys ass? Ug that 1st floor was a bitch...
